After drilling: why the as-built file is essential

Once the drilling is finished, the as-built file keeps a clear, usable record that is valuable for future operation.

After drilling: why the as-built file is essential

The project doesn't end when the rig leaves the site. That is when an often underestimated phase begins: the clear and reliable handover of what was actually executed.

When the drilling is finished, many clients think the documentation work is only just beginning. In reality, the quality of the as-built file is central to the value of the completed project.

Why this file is essential

The as-built file gathers the final information actually executed on site: depths, number of boreholes, layout, probe type, tests, observations and adjustments made. Without it, the technical memory of the project is lost very quickly.

A tool useful long after the works

This file is not only useful at handover. It is valuable for maintenance, for understanding the borehole field, for reselling the property or for any future change to the energy system.

At WellDoneDrill, we consider documentation quality to be an integral part of execution quality.
